No information an be given respecting letters which pass through Post Office except to the perous to whom they are addressed; and in so other way is official information of a private character allowed to be made public. A Postmaster may, however, give an address if he has no reason to believe that the person whose address it is would disapprove of his doing sc.

The postage must be prepaid either by an adhesire stamp, or by the use of a stamped

Postmasters arenot bound to give change, nor are they authorised to demand change; and when money is paid at a Post Office, whether as change or otherwise, no question as to its right amount, goodness, or weight can be entertained after it has been removed from the counter.

Postmasters are not bound to weigh any letters or other pakets for the public, but they may do so if their duty be not thereby impeded.

The practice of sealing letters passing to and irm the East and West Indies, and other countries with hot climates, with wax (except such as is specially prepared), is attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serions injury, not only to the letters so zaaled but to the other letters is the mail, from the melting of the wax and adhesion of the letters to each other. The public are therefore recommended, in all such cases, to use either wafers or gura, and to advise their corespondents in the coun- tries referred to, to do the same.

continuance of Notes & Queries on China and Japan, has induced the publish e of this journal to issue a publication similar in object and style, but slightly modifiod in certain details.

THE CHINA REVIEW, or Notes and Queries on the Far East, is issued at in- tervals of two months, each number con- taining about 60 octavo pages, occasionally illustrated with lithographs, photographs, woodouts, &c., should the papers published demand, and the circulation justify, such

San Lorenzo century, Su Tung-p'o, by Mr. E. C. Bowra Scot e not only historically valuable, but is also distinguished by its literary grace. Beside notices of now books relating to China and the East, which will be a useful feature of the Review, if carried out with punctuality and detail, we are glad to notice that "Notes" and "Queries" are destined to find a place in its pages also. It is to be hoped that this opening for contribution on Chinese subjects way evoke a similar degree of literary seal to that which was displayed during the lifetime of its prede sessor in the field, and that the China feview may receive the support necessary to insure Its continuance. The publication is intend- ed to appear every two months, and will form a substantial octavò magazine,

The projectors, basing their estimates pon the most reliable information from the various Ports in China and Japan, from Australia, California, Singapore, Penang, Saigon, and other places frequented by the Chiuuae,consider themselves justified in guaranteeing an ultimate circulation of between 3,000 and 4,000 bopies.
